The development of Alyss as she matures through the story In the beginning of the novel Alyss is characterized as childish & immature.

“ Will you be my king Dodge?” said Alyss “If it pleases you princess” he said trying to be nonchalant. Alyss is being ignorant and oblivious of how real life could be a real problem when you 're living in your imagine. Alyss is already thinking she is older than she actually is because people at her age don 't make those decisions. Alyss said “I’ll just imagine i know everything then i will” She thinks everything can happen for her in one fail swoop but she 's going to need to learn and soon. Alyss declared “I wish to be queen for a day”. Imagination can blur what you want and what you need …show more content…

With people not believing anymore about Alyss still being alive the people succumb to black imagination. “She hurried out to the balcony, it couldn’t have been him. The man with scars. It couldn’t have. He didn’t exist”.

After 13 years Alyss has matured enough to learn many things, life skills, common sense, and most of all intelligence. What i 'm trying to say here is that what she had been learning outside of wonderland may have been just enough to teach her a lot of things…[maybe even becoming queen]. “Hatter if you need time for personal matters, you may certainly have it. your leave is granted” “Thank you Queen Alyss” [Beddor 192]. Alyss has also become a loyal, giving, deserving, understanding Queen after maturity kicked in. with Alyss’s maturity increasing so does her understanding level.
